How do you load your logs?

[Kirk Allen]

I parbuckle the logs onto the trailer and "most" of the time it works out.  This time however we had a problem


This is one of the bookmatched sets from the Arkansas Red Oak. 


These were two of the boards from a Cedar Elm we recovered during the same project just north of Little Rock a couple years ago.

Another example of how big logs can be loaded by one person!

Those blue handled peavys are not suppose to be used like they are, laying in the dirt.

They are laying in the grass

The one on the down side of the log is a pry bar.  It was the first giant cant hook prototype from Log Rite and it snapped the end right off.  All of them after that came with a thicker handle and have never given me any more problems

Parbuckeling is primative but it works great. I use a small single axel trailer most of the time and have to drag them up the end with a winch. I just put a piece of pipe or piece of a log under the log hook up the winch and drag it on the trailer. Of course I now have a forklift & gooseneck for the biguns. Here lately though they have been being delivered by the tree guy, He's the best. If I had to go get all my logs I would sure enough have a bobcat.
